Life Is Full of Possibilities is the third studio album by American electronic music producer Dntel. It was released on October 30, 2001, by Plug Research.[14]
"(This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan", a collaboration with Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, was released as a single on August 6, 2002.[15] Dntel would collaborate with Gibbard again for an entire album, Give Up, released in 2003 under the name The Postal Service.[4] The song "Life Is Full of Possibilities" includes a repeating sample of Bloop, a sound of undetermined origin.[16]
A two-disc remastered deluxe edition of Life Is Full of Possibilities was released on October 24, 2011, by Sub Pop,[17] which featured four additional songs not included on the initial release, along with remixed versions of other songs from the album.
